 There are some funny things in this vale of tears. William Carlson, a temperance advo- cate living in San Francisco, was recently ar rested for cruelty beating his horse on the street.

 Another offer for the Derby railroad was made last night in a very direct and open way. It is better offer than the other one was and the Board of Finance being we'll ac- uuainted with the matter it ought not to take long to come to decision.

It might be thought that the Emperor's driving in the open street was proof of his courage, but this is not so. The danger there is no greater than it is in his study, guarded though he be indoors as we'll as out of doors by triple rows of bayonets.

The society voted that it heard with regret of the propo- sal to erect the monument, and said that 1t believed that nothing but misapprehension of the event styled the Boston massacre could have led to classifying these persons wit 1al k<1< E,,1
